Father-son problems: Trump complained that son Barron wouldn’t say he loved him while comparing him to an unimpressed correspondent, Jonathan Karl.

I don’t know. But he does. But he’s too cool, the kids.’”
🗣 Karl commented on that moment: “I mean, this was, there have been many surreal moments. I can’t say if it was the most, but it was certainly in the top, top five.”

👀 Secret donors reportedly spent $100 mln to attract potential Biden voters - young people, people of colour and unmarried women - to the polls in the 2020 election.
According to Tom Lopach, the non-profit The Voter Participation Center's chief executive, the group delivered some 300 million digital messages and 371 million pieces of mail during the 2020 election cycle, urging people to vote by mail or take part in early voting.

🧐 Trump attorneys claim that the Jan. 6 Committee's pursuit of White House docs could cause lasting damage to the presidency and lead to a political tradition of legal revenge.
🗣 "An incumbent president would always be able to condemn the actions of a former president from a rival party and permit confidentiality to be broken to further political ends," Trump's legal team wrote in a brief filed in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Trump is appealing a previous ruling by US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who said that the former president must turn over the requested documents, which include over 700 pages of visitor logs, speech drafts, White House call logs, and other records.

🦃 When the holiday doesn’t go as you planned: Lara Trump blames Democrats for the rise in turkey prices, says it’s part of a left-wing plot to destroy Thanksgiving
Lara Trump, the wife of Donald Trump’s son Eric, declared that the left are trying to ruin American traditions. But why would they do that?
🗣“They have told us from the beginning that they want to fundamentally transform America,” she said of Democrats.
“How do you do that? You have to transform America from the inside out, you have to take away our traditions. It might seem a little funny and a little ridiculous – don’t have a turkey – then people won’t come over.”
She also referred to 2020, complaining that it was Democrats who didn't want Americans to get together on the holiday after the CDC, in the middle of a raging pandemic, advised against Thanksgiving travel, but stopped short of an outright ban.
